Human Activity-Optimized CRISPR Knockout Library (3 sub-libraries in lentiCRISPRv1)
(Pooled Library #1000000100)
- Purpose
The Sabatini/Lander CRISPR pooled library is optimized for cleavage activity, in order to maximize the likelihood of gene knockout.
The library is split into three sub-libraries. Two tubes each contain 90,000 gRNAs each or 5 sgRNAs per gene. The third tube contains 5,000 gRNAs.
- Vector Backbone
lentiCRISPR v1- Note: This plasmid has been discontinued, as an updated version is available. For confirmation of screen hits, Addgene encourages users to use the updated lentiCRISPR v2, which can be requested separately.

Library Shipping
This library will be delivered as three pooled DNA sub-libraries in microcentrifuge tubes on blue ice. The tubes' contents will not necessarily be frozen. For best results, minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Note that each subpool must be transformed separately.

Depositor Comments
The depositing lab notes that the DNA preps should be performed separately and then mixed together during virus production at ratios consistent with the pool size.

Diagram of Library Screening Process
When performing sgRNA validation in a Cas9-expressing cell line, the depositing laboratory recommends using plasmid pLenti-sgRNA (Addgene #71049).
